upon her wickedness by deserting
her husband and her own innocent |
unoffending little child.
Yet it was perhaps F'the best thing
she could have done" for both of
them, and [ rose from my seat with
heart full of pity for the little for
saken Lula, whom / called axiously
to come to me. She came from the
breakfas room crying, and said:
''Mama had run away in the night,
Inkey said, and Giles said that Pau
line and a man came and took her
away in carriage!"
/ took the child in my arms, and
told her "not to cry, that her papa
had not gone, nor had I left her
either" but here it flashed upon
me that [ must go, and as soon as pos
sible. Oh. if Aunt Fannie was only
herei
[ started up to speak to Philip,
but he and DR.. Walker had gone up
to see Winnie, so [ sat down again
with Lula still sobbing on my lap.
I then remembered that she had not
had any breakfast, and she was too
frail to bear hunger and sorrow too;
so [ took her to the table, where the
breakfast was now cold from long
standing, but I made her cup of
tea, and buttered her biscuit, which
she ate hungrily, and the little tear
stained face became once more calm
and quiet as usual. 1 could not
swallow morsel, but DR.. Barron
came and drank a cup of coffee
which I had poured out for him.
Then he said kindly:
'Miss Rembert, would you like
to send for Mrs. Vivian to come and
advise with you? I can understand
how unhappy you must be in the
present condition of things, and
friend like Mrs, Vivian can perhaps
give you both comfort and advice,
which [ am unable to do"
I felt very grateful to him for his
thoughtfulness of myself, in the
midst of his own bitter humiliation
and Sorrows for he was a proud man,
but had now been crushed and stung
until I suppose he was almost past
feeling for himself. [ thanked him
warmly, and accepted his offer to
send note for me, but at that mo-
ment DIR. Walker came down stairs
and said to me:
'I shall ride back to Ravenswood
have you any message" Then
I asked him to say to Mrs. Vivian
"that / would be very glad if she
would come to me as soon as posi-
ble."
[ knew that she would explain
! things to her, and there was no need
for me to say more.
/ [ then went up to Winnie's room,
taking Lula with me, and found her
brighter and better than I had ever
found her.. She wore crimson
cashmere morning dress, richly en-
broidered from the throat down to
the edge and then round the bottom
of the flowing skirt-a delicate white
ruche encircled the fair throat, and
was fastened with diamond pin.
[ had thought her beautiful before,
but now she looked angelic, and [
did not wonder at the strength and
faithfulness of Philips love! As |
leaned over to kiss her she put her
arm around my neck, and looking
earnestly into my face, said:
: 'Philip says we owe all our hap
piness to you, Lilian!"
j "Not to me, dear, but to Hem
to whom you prayed ; do you remem-
Der how you said you would pray
& for him to Gomez"
